HOLDER FOR FABRIC ROLLS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

' Patented Nov. 23, 1915.

Application filed January 20, 1915. Serial No. 3,304..

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Crrns'rnn BANKS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Quincy, in the county ofAdams and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Holders for Fabric Rolls, of .which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to certain improve ments in holders for fabric rolls, such as paper or the like; and the object of the invention is to provide a device of this general character having novel and improved means whereby the same may be operatively supported by a closet seat or the like.

The invention consists inthe details of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts of my improved device whereby certain important advantages are attained and the device is rendered simpler, less expensive and otherwise more convenient and advantageous for use, all as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

The novel features of the invention will be carefully defined in the appended claim.

In order that'my invention may be the better understood, 1 will now proceed to describe the same with referenceto the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a view in top plan of a holder constructed in accordance with an embodiment of my invention, the coacting roll and seat being indicated by dotted lines; and Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view taken through the device illustrated in Fig. 1, the

roll being indicated by dotted lines and the coacting seat in section.

As disclosed in the accompanying drawings, S denotes a conventional closet seat with which my improved device is adapted to coact. As herein embodied, my imroved holder comprises an elongated memlier 1 having its extremities 2 out-turned to afford supporting brackets for the bar?) on which the paper roll is ,mounted. Integrally produced with the member 1 adjacent the opposite extremities thereof are the arms 4 adapted to underlie the scat S, and each of said arms 4L adjacent its opposite ends is provided with the longitudinally disposed elongated slots 5 through which are disposed the clamping members 6 for the clips 7 whereby it will be readily perceived that my improved holder may be employed with convenience and facility in connection with seats of varying transverse diameters. As is believed to be self-evident, the clips 7 are adapted to overlie the seat S and to effectively maintain the same in applied position thereon.

By constructing a roll holder in accordance with an embodiment of my invention, it will be readily perceived that at all times the roll R is so positioned relative to the seat S as to permit the fabric to be disposed across the seat with convenience and facility.

From the foregoing description, it is thought to be obvious that a roll holder constructed in accordance with myinvention is of an extremely simple and comparatively inexpensive natureand is particularly well adapted for use by reason of the convenience and facility with which it may be assembled, and it will also be obvious that my invention is susceptible of some change and modification without material departure from the principles and spirit thereof andfor this reason I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the precise arrangement and Iormation of the several parts herein shown in carrying outmy invention in practice except as defined by the appended claim.

I claim:

A device of the character described com-i prising an. elongated member provided with supporting brackets, arms projecting from said elongated member, each of said arms being provided with elongated longitudinally disposed slots in the opposite end portions thereof, clips carried by the arms, and clamping means for the clips disposed throughthe slots of the arms whereby said clips may be adjusted longitudinally of the arms.

In testimony whereof I hereunto atliX my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.
